So this brand started in a Colorado kitchen. Like, actual mason jars and a woman named Ashlie mixing oils while dinner was on the stove. That part is cute but whatever.
The real flex? They use a Nobel Prize-winning extraction method (supercritical CO2) to pull actives out of plants. It’s not steam, not alcohol — it’s pressurized carbon dioxide that acts like a ghost solvent. Leaves zero residue and grabs molecules other methods miss. That’s the science that made me pay attention.
**Section 2: The Drops, The Price, The Promise** 🧪
It’s a waterless oil serum. $58 for 1 oz. Their claim: “deep cellular repair while you sleep.” I rolled my eyes. Then I tried it.
Rice Bran Squalane
Plants-only squalane that sinks in in 8 seconds — no greasy film
CO2- Extracted Sea Buckthorn
200x more concentrated than cold-pressed versions, and it’s orange. Like, neon orange.

**Section 3: What’s Actually Inside** 🏔️
No water. No filler. Just plant oils that actually do things. The color looks like liquid sunset — don’t panic, it stains your skin zero percent.
- Sea Buckthorn CO2 Extract: Floods skin with omega-7s — the rare one most oils skip
- Prickly Pear Seed Oil: More vitamin E than argan, absorbs like it was never there
- Rosehip Seed Oil: The retinoid alternative that doesn’t peel your face off
- Chamomile CO2 Extract: Anti-inflammatory that actually smells good
**Section 4: The Feel, The Shock, The Tip** 📖
Texture is thin — almost like water. You put 3 drops on damp skin and it disappears. No film. No “slug life” situation. I was convinced it did nothing the first night. That changed.
Week 2: My left cheek (my problem side) stopped being angry. Week 3: The weird dry patch near my mouth just… left. Didn’t even say goodbye. What surprised me: it actually worked *better* on my oily zones than dry ones.
**Section 5: The Honest Results** 💧
My texture got smoother. My redness dialed down maybe 40%. The dark spot from a breakout last month is still there, just lighter. It’s not a miracle — it’s a good oil that does what it says.
**Section 6: Final Word** ✨
This is the oil I recommend to people who say “my skin hates oils.” It’s light, it’s weirdly effective, and the science is real.
